...Truth? It is laughable and tragic that CBS's failure to authenticate documents affirming what we all already know about George W.

For Labor, the "rush to war" in Iraq exposed the blind spots in the government's foreign policy: excessive closeness to Washington ("sucking up" is Latham's term), insufficient respect for the U.N., and a wrongheaded readiness to fight other people's wars...
Davis was born in Iowa City, Iowa but later lived in New York and Washington D.C., promoting feminism during World War I and the Roaring ’20s.
